Here's my interpretation of the Indigo Girls' "No Way To Treat A
Friend." I think Amy & Emily don't always play the exact same
chords during the song, so I chose the dominant one. As for the
rhythm, well, you're on your own. It would be too difficult for
me to write it out. I have tried to show how many beats each
chord receives in the introduction. If you spot any errors
please let me know. Thanks and enjoy.

Well, when I walked to the door
A7sus4 A7
I was feelin' mighty fine.
A7* E7#9
I was thinkin', hey, I got love to ease my mind.
E7
And I got to the car
A7sus4 A7
I was starin' at the stars.
A7* E7
I was thinkin', this ain't no way to spend my time.
(E7)
I wanna true love affair.
A7sus4 A7
Not this touch 'n' go' the air.
E7 E9
You know I don't know if I'm comin' on down.
E7
I don't wanna love touch 'n' go.
A7sus4 A7
I wanna feel 'n' I wanna know
Em E7
Unless you can get me outta this town.

E7
When I saw you smile
A7sus4 A7
Just one look into your eyes
A7* E7 E9
I was thinkin', hey, I'm in love again.
E7
Then I heard you laugh.
A7sus4 A7
Honey, you were laughin' at the past.
A7* E7#9
I was thinkin', this ain't no way to treat your friend.
E7
Yow were laughin' at the past.
A7sus4 A7
Honey, you were smilin' through your ass,
A7* E7 E9
Watchin' cars drive away in your mind.
E7
You were hopin' I would leave.
A7sus4 A7
Honey, I was dreamin' I could stay.
A7* E7
This ain't no way for me to spend my time.
(2nd guitar solo)
E7 A7sus4
Honey, I want words. I want touch.
A7
Is that too much for someone so far removed
E7
From what you used to claim.
A7sus4
You be cool. I still be kind.
A7
It's all in your mind.
A7* E7#9
I'm in love with you. Ain't gonna play your game. No!
E7
If you want my advice,
A7sus4 A7
Don't say it's wrong when it feels right.
A7* E7#9
Push me down just to see me crawl.
(E7#9)
I'll be crawlin' on your floor.
A7sus4 A7
I'll be reachin' for your door.
A7* E7#9
I'll be crawlin' right out of your eyes.
A7sus4 A7 E7
Honey, I'll be walkin' right out of your eyes.
A7sus4 A7 E7 E7* E7sus4 E7
Honey, I'll be walkin' right out of your eyes.
